You know you've buggered up the casting when the biggest cheer of the season is when the GOODIE gets popped.
I fast forwarded past all her "family scenes". Excruciatingly shit and superflous.
Her ginormous pringles desk arse chasing after lethal assasin in the jungle then letting out a huge "FAAHHHHHK!" as if her wobble pudding butt was just about to run him down. Massive cringe.
Got to the point where I was questioning "why has this woman even decided she is a professional 'actor' at all? It's clearly not suited to her as a vocation..."
Her acting capabilities were not the issue, her looks even less so.
The problem was that the character was written to be very unlikeable, why?, don't know.
Especially since her early demise was planned, the character had so much more potential.
If you know you don't have to look out for a possible Season 2 for this character, you should make the character extremely likeable, so fans of the show feel something when the character dies.
The moment of "Oh no!, she died" is so much more impactful than "thank god, she dead..."
If done well, this would've also put your feelings for the main character to a test. It's easy to like the bad guy if the good guy (girl) is an a$$hole.
PS: Didn't put any spoilers in since pdm kinda spilled the beans on that character (some people might not have watched it yet)
